Inspire Values and Culture

Our Vision and Values

The Inspire team casts a wide net across many locations, lifestyles, and backgrounds. We celebrate the uniqueness and strength found in diversity: it’s our differences that make us interesting, and our shared belief in Inspire’s Core Values that bind us together. 

These values form Inspire’s culture as one guided by respect, transparency, collaboration, and direct feedback. We put our customers at the heart of everything we do, and we do so through a diverse team working together in an honest, inclusive environment. We all commit to creating a safe working environment and are allies to those often underrepresented - including but not limited to members of BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities, people with disabilities, and all people who identify as women.  As an organisation we are;

  • Carer friendly
  • Breastfeeding friendly
  • Dementia Friendly
  • Disability Confident
  • Family Arts Standard registered 
  • Hidden Disability Sunflower members
  • Investors in Diversity Silver Award
